Hello Group! The Bachman model has never been offered with the only prototypes it represents. Try ERIE 14500, PM 18400 and WAG 3200 (all first in their series). The trucks are not 70 ton but it is a

Thanks Charlie. Bud Rindfleisch

Tony, Awesome, thanks much. I do have a hobby shop nearby (still,yes!) that stocks Vallejo, I'll be on the lookout for the magenta. Again, much appreciated! Bud Rindfleisch

On the Santa Fe the number of cattle in a car was governed by the season of the year. More cattle could be accomodated per car if the cattle were headed to the Kansas Flint Hills for fattening than

The PRR one doesn't match the G31A it claims to be. The Santa Fe isn't turning up in Hendrickson's gondola book. Can't be sure about the UP, but I do doubt it. I am curious what it IS. What's nice

Good find, Tim. Definitely a DSI build. Stan Rydarowicz parts and Microscale 87-890 decals and there you go. I managed to find some of Stan's parts recently, already have the decals and an

Dave There was a large smelter in upstate New York on Lake Ontario for about a CENTURY. There is a LOT of hydropower in the area, and a great deal of it is now

IIRRC, Richard Hendrickson used styrene 'peanuts' for animals. Light weight, squishable, and painted to whatever colors of the livestock your RR hauled. Todd Sullivan

Tony I can't believe how I butchered that car and the Laconia Ralston Purina reefer. I was in High School, summer vacation in Columbus OH visiting my Aunt and Uncle and we were in a model railroad

I miss Floquil. Their Polly Scale Fantasy line had a nice Magenta; I used it to paint a DT&I 86' hycube. I forget what it was called. Something "Ogre" IIRC. Thanks! -- Brian Ehni On 4/3/22,
